Both points seem pretty detached from reality? The majority of workers obviously are not working 15 hours a day..

I don’t quite follow your argument. We don’t generate nearly as many small apartments (especially in places people want to live in) as calories. Solving food scarcity did little to increase the supply of real estate (if anything it resulted

Yes. It seems to be almost incapable of communicating in anything but terse (up to 5 word or so) bullet points. And even when you force it write in coherent sentences the output still seems markedly worse than it used to.

> Overweight people (bmi 25-30) live longer. Seems statistically dubious.. Is this claim based on a longitudinal study? Or at least does this exclude everyone who lost weight due to health reasons etc.?

Yeah, I’d say the same even if they had already started months ago, maybe even a year or two. Qualcomm bought Nuvia back in 2021, so they didn’t start from scratch. They’d only released their first product this year and it’s not even that c

It would take years for Qualcomm to catch up. They’d be in a much worse than for example Intel is in now. By the time they had a competitive RISC-V core (just look at how lo no it took them to ship Oryon and it would be much harder) Qualcom

Why would ARM be making more per single Apple chip than they could get from Qualcomm even in the worst case? ARM’s business model is not that great to begin with, losing Qualcomm would have a massive impact (obviously same applies to both c
